Christian McCaffrey News
Friday, May 29, 10:44 AM
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey was an unquestionably dominant force in fantasy football in 2025, collecting 2,126 yards from scrimmage and 17 touchdowns on 413 touches across 17 games. Even in a year in which he averaged just 3.9 yards per carry, McCaffrey provided ridiculous receiving production with 102 catches for 924 yards and seven scores on 124 targets. As long as McCaffrey stays healthy, he has a solid chance to finish as the overall RB1 once again in 2026. However, dynasty managers need to at least consider selling high on the superstar back. McCaffrey is entering his age-30 season in 2026. He also has an extensive track record of injury issues and is coming off a year in which he led the NFL in touches. The last time McCaffrey led the league in touches was 2023, and he followed that up by playing just four games in 2024. For dynasty managers who are not in immediate contention in their leagues, moving McCaffrey for a king's ransom could be the right call.

Alvin Kamara News
Thursday, June 4, 10:41 AM
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara surprised everyone by showing up to OTAs on Wednesday since he has a history of skipping voluntary workouts in the offseason. Even head coach Kellen Moore was caught off guard. "Obviously a little bit unexpected," Moore said. New Orleans added RB Travis Etienne Jr. in free agency, leading to offseason speculation that Kamara could hang up his cleats or be traded. His status for the 2026 season is far from settled. The Saints have indicated they would like to address Kamara's contract, but the team's all-time leading rusher said he hasn't talked with general manager Mickey Loomis about taking a pay cut. The 30-year-old five-time Pro Bowler is entering the final year of his contract and holds a salary cap hit of around $10.5 million, which was already reduced earlier this offseason. Kamara said he has no beef with the Saints after they added Etienne, and is "going to be ready" to play in the Big Easy for a 10th season. If Kamara stays with the Saints this year, he's going to be the clear No. 2 behind Etienne, which will cause a drastic drop in his fantasy value after being the Saints' lead back for the last nine years.
